   Cable requirements: Suitably (Basec or Har) approved four core cable of appropriate current carrying capacity.

3. Install the cable runs and appropriate controllers in conjunction with a fused connection unit. Contact gap must not be less than 3mm.

4. Working from the inside, mark out the position of the mounting hole – 250mm wide x 250mm high.

5. Carefully cut the holes in the inner and outer brick courses to form a suitable aperture to receive the unit. Ensure that this is level.

Installing the Appliance

From Inside

1. Remove the grille, heat exchanger, from the unit. Note: it is not necessary to remove the fan assembly from the housing to carry out the installation.
2. Slide the unit into the mounting hole and ensure that the flange around its open end is not held off the mounting surface by the threaded bushes located in the flange. Remove the housing assembly and if necessary clear the wall to suit these bushes and the screws which will project through them.
3. Offer the housing to the mounting hole. As the housing is being located in the mounting hole, feed the electrical supply cable through the entry hole (located on the top right hand side of the housing). Note: for the purpose of condensation drainage a prop is fitted to the underside of the housing to cause it to adopt a downwards tilt to the outside wall.
4. Fix the housing assembly in the wall using suitable gap filler between it and the mounting hole. The housing can also be fixed to the wall through the holes in the side using suitable wood screws and wall plugs. Make good around the internal and external wall faces.

CAUTION: Ensure the case does not distort during fixing and making good.

From Outside

1. Offer the frame to the housing and mark its fixing hole positions on the external wall face. Remove the frame and drill the wall to accept suitable wall fixing plugs.
2. Slide the frame over the housing and seal it against the external wall face using silicone sealant or mastic. Fix it in position with suitable screws.

2. Release the catch for the supply side(left side) grille and remove the grille
3. Place the inlet blanking plate between the grille and the filter
4. Replace the grilled with the blanking plate in place. The unit will now operate as an extract only ventilation unit

The unit is supplied with four, 6-month Timestrip indicators. A Timestrip is a single use self-adhesive label that once activated will turn red over 6 months. It should be used to keep track of when the filter and cell need cleaning/replacement. Using the self-adhesive backing the strip can stuck near the units controls, or in a easily visible place. A normal cleaning schedule for a unit would be as follows:

with 4 additional Timestrip indicators

Note: The above is the minimum requirement; more frequent cleaning intervals may be needed depending on the environment the unit is installed in.

Activating the Timestrip.

1. Activation: Fully squeeze the activation button between thumb and finger. A red line will appear within 1-2 minutes to show that the Timestrip has been activated.
2. Peel off the backing liner and stick the Timestrip to the Unit or near the controls of the unit. The location should make it obvious to the person responsible for maintenance that the unit needs attention.
3. Once activated, the red dye will indicate elapsed time by moving through the white window and past each time marker. The progress of the red dye is irreversible and each Timestrip can only be used once.
